Stars and Swords: Footnoting Genre Fiction
Binti 3: Deep Culture
This week, we continue Nnedi Okorafor’s Binti: The Complete Trilogy, and discuss the third novella, The Night Masquerade. What is the dividing line between science fiction and fantasy? Is identity reducible? Is Mwinyi an Edward or a Jacob?
Next week: a wrap-up episode on Binti, including discussion of the short story Sacred Fire.
